Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices.
Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.  If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising
  your hand to ask for assistance.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The church’s financial statement for May 2012 is posted for review in the office over the copy machine.

An order is going to be placed in the next week or so for additional Trinity Hymnals through the Dorothy Steff Hymnal Fund!  We could use about 60 more at $15.00 each to fill all the church pews.  If you would like to fill out an order form on the back table, you may do so.  Otherwise, we will create an order based on our donations.  It would be helpful to our Treasurer if you would mark your gift: "Hymnal Fund." Thank you for your generosity, and may God bless us as we worship him in joyful song!

Each year, the Conference invites churches to set aside one Sunday a year to highlight the ministries, developments, and special needs of CCCC.  Note the enclosed inert.  For the next several weeks, we will be receiving special contributions designated to help support the ongoing ministries of the CCCC.

CALENDAR
Tuesday, June 19th
Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Join us at the church at 7:00 pm for our ongoing study in our study in Hebrews (“The Supremacy of Christ”).  Also, be meditating on the next hymn in our discussion series (“And Can it Be?”).  Extra copies are on the back table along with T. David Gordon’s  “Hymns:  Criteria for Making Good Ones”.

Wednesday, June 20th
Check out “Ask the Pastor” at 2:00 pm (TCT Network and Dish Network channel 26; DirecTV does not carry the program), as Derek tries to make good use of this special opportunity.  “Ask the Pastor” is a live call-in program with a panel of five area Senior Pastors answering view questions about life and the Bible from the Bible.

Saturday, June 23rd
Join us for our 9th Annual Leadership Forum.  Dr. Drake Williams, currently serving as Vice President of Academic Affairs, Academic Dean, and Professor of New Testament Language and Literature at Tyndale Seminary (the Netherlands) will be our guest speaker.  His theme is “Leadership Then and Now:  Ideas from Corinthians for Today”.  The Williamses are CCCC members and recent additions to our own missionary roster.  See the sign-up in the foyer.
